I'm hiring! If you or someone you know would be a good fit for this role please apply or share!

What if you don’t fit in a box? You have done Tech Art tasks for years, but you don’t write code. You were the in-between person for Art and Engineering, the “guinea pig/ tester-type-person”. Working for a service group each project had a new set of issues to be solved for that particular Developer. You were that person to test new tools, tech, and workflows from Engineering or the Developer prior to it rolling out to Production for the Artists or Animators to use. You self-managed most of your projects, but you are not a Project Manager. You planned out your daily tasks via info from the Production Team. You organized the tasks from start to finish, so that Animation, Production or the Developer had what they needed for their daily reviews. You worked closely with the Developer on each project, but you are not a Producer or Project Coordinator. You created great relationships with the Developer’s IT personnel, their Managers and their Animators or Artists. You worked within their game engine, organized, managed and reported to the Developer the status of their tools, tech and game engines that are now working outside their office. You began learning new facial animation tech. A proprietary system for the Animators, but you are not an Animator. Working on AAA titles for a service group you need to wear LOTS of hats. One of those hats should land you some sort of a new gig.   Tech Art? Maybe. Production? Possibly. Years of experience? Absolutely!  But out in the wild trying to secure a new job…you don’t fit in a box.
